'Axe Cop' miniseries on the way

Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth will be the first original print publication of the hit webcomic.

It is written by 6-year-old Malachai Nicolle with the assistance of his 30-year-old brother Ethan.

"It is new ground for Axe Cop because it is one long three-part story," Ethan told CBR. "In the world of comics a three-issue miniseries is not a particularly long story, but the amount of ground Axe Cop covers in that amount of reading is pretty crazy. It is by far the most epic Axe Cop tale ever told.

"When I created the first Axe Cop stories, I was thinking these were a side-project for fun, so they were short and drawn sloppily. Bad Guy Earth has been my job. I spent a month with Malachai writing it in person. It was a big project and one of the most imagination-stretching projects I have ever taken on. I can't wait for people to see it."

In December, Dark Horse published a collection print edition of all the Axe Cop comics to date.
